With work orders at hand anywhere in the plant and ability to immediately manage spare parts from the shop floor, as well as from the warehouse, the maintenance staff will be able to spend more time on the value adding work rather than spending time in front of stationary computers. The constant access to information and the possibility for immediate registration and reporting improves the efficiency as well as the data quality. A valuable feature in API PRO Mobile Solutions is the opportunity to work both online and offline in the system. The API PRO Mobile apps reduce the administrative time needed in front of a computer and allows maintenance technicians to focus even more on asset maintenance. Using the API PRO Mobile Apps creates an increase in productivity. Having greater freedom of movement allows for efficient work with repairs and maintenance and work done can easily be updated in real-time. The API PRO Mobile Stock Management solutions provides a solid support for mobility in the work with stock management. The API PRO Mobile apps are based on the most recent .NET, XML and Web Services technology. This allows work to be completed both online and offline. The API PRO Mobile Maintenance and API PRO Mobile Stock Management are available for Android and iOS.

Go Mobile with API PRO!

By increasing the mobility of your Enterprise Asset Management, you increase the ability of your workforce to receive, react on, and register maintenance tasks instantly, regardless of time or place.

This minimizes travel time between tasks and facilitates accurate registrations of work done, which is crucial for supporting continuous improvement of your EAM operations.

WEB PORTAL

The API PRO job request web portal supports two ways of handling the reporting of your plant’s to-do list. Job Ordering and Notifications can be handled directly from a web browser and used from any PC or tablet connected to the internet.

Job Ordering

With the Job Order function, users can create an unplanned corrective work order directly in the system from your PC or iPad. Typically, this tool is used by machine operators, or other frequent system users who report urgent problems.

Notifications

The API PRO Notification function allows non-frequent users to report errors directly, without having access to a full version of the API PRO system. Instead, these users are granted access simply by your internet linking to the API PRO system. This means that your non-frequent users only need an internet connection to get the job done. The special API PRO web user license policy makes it affordable to grant all employees in your company access to job requesting via the web.

BARCODE READING

Using barcodes in API PRO allows you to considerably rationalize your stock handling process, by providing a faster and more reliable data entry process. Not only will this save your employees time, it also eliminates the risk of typos. Barcodes are supported by a number of optional devices, including portable data collectors, PDAs and iPhones. In addition, you can connect a barcode reader to a keyboard, which allows you to simply scan the barcode at stock issues and returns, rather than having to do manual registration. As well as making stock control more efficient, barcodes can also be used for reading work orders and accounting assignments. This API PRO functionality also includes a print out of stock labels. These and all other printouts can be designed freely to fulfill your needs.
